I recently had the chance to meet and interview “Dancing with the Stars” Pro Dancers Brandon Armstrong, Gleb Savchenko, and Alan Bersten. This is experience was beyond my wildest dreams so dance on in and check out my favorite interview moments.

Fun Facts About Brandon “I’m more like an all-styles kid. I trained like in jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, ballet growing up mainly. I did ballroom with another pro on the show, Lindsay Arnold. We were ballroom partners I definitely more of like an all-styles kid, hip-hop, and contemporary.” Brandon performed on Dancing with The Stars for the first time when he was thirteen.”

Fun Facts About Gleb “I mainly train in ballroom dance and standard. I started when I did a then I picked up all the different styles. We do contemporary, jazz and hip-hop or whatever. It’s more like commercial, but mainly ballroom.” Gleb is also the Pro Dance LA owner and operator with his wife Elena Samodanova.

Fun Facts About Alan “I danced ballroom when I was seven years old and then I auditioned for “You Think You Can Dance”. That really broadened my horizon now I’m lucky enough to be with these guys on Dancing with The Stars. Every day we learn something new and it’s a lot of fun. So, even though we’re professionals on the show we’re still learning a new style every time we get a new song we’re changing things up.”

The Guys Share There Favorite Dancing With The Stars Moments

Brandon Armstrong“My favorite was this season, my first season as a pro she was amazing. I think our favorite moments, we did an Argentine tango, that was like very much my style. It wasn’t traditional, it was to a different song, and different type of vibe. That’s like my style as a pro on the show that was one of my best.

Alan Bersten“Honestly, my best moment was joining the show it was a dream of mine when I was younger. I was watching the show with my grandpa and it was so nice to like maybe one day I can be there. Then one day I got here and it’s honestly a dream come true every moment on the show is my favorite moment as cliché as that sounds.”

Where Do The Guys Go To Get Fresh New Dance Ideas

Alan Bersten“I feel like we’re fairly newer on the show this is my third season. I feel like the songs kind of inspire us, partners inspire us. So, every season is a different season because what I’m doing with Alexis I couldn’t do with Mariah or Debbie. So, every season you get an inspiration from your partner.

Gleb Savchenko“When you create there is their journey you’re really learning a lot about them. Where they come from, what they do, why they’re doing the show. Kind of like each week is telling a story about before the dance. There’s a lot of different things that goes into that minute performance and it honestly like Gleb said it’s all about the celebrity.”

Brandon Armstrong “Our job is to make them look good.”

Alan Bersten “I think what’s so great about this show is not necessarily comparing one dancer versus the next. But how high each person can jump. They’re capable of doing this 100% and then is this individual giving 100% of what they’re capable of. It’s not necessarily comparing straight across.”

Gleb Savchenko “It’s more about the growth.”

Alan Bernsten “It’s about journey that they take us on says something important that you are always learning.”

What Style Of Dance Does Brandon Armstrong Want To Learn More About

Brandon Armstrong“Ballroom I grew up competing in ballroom, but I wasn’t like this sort of elite level ballroom dancer. So, when I came onto the show I was on troop for three seasons. I would just sit, watch, and analyze things trying to figure them out. I’m constantly trying to get better in hip-hop, contemporary, and ballroom. You know even the world’s best ballroom dancers are still taking lessons.”

My Favorite Quotes From The Interview

Brandon Armstrong “You also must realize that we’re teaching people who are renowned at what they do”

Alan Bersten “These people are the best at what they do but they are so vulnerable and dancing. So, it’s like we have to be there as a support system and their trainer.”
